Lights on the Water
1951, Tokyo, post-war Japan occupied by American troops. Ellie Raskin finds herself between two worlds: half Japanese, half Scottish, deported to Japan from Australia, she tries to start a new life in Tokyo, but it's not so easy. Partly because... she is jealous of her husband over Vida Vidanto, a famous Japanese poetess. Ellie is not the only one with questions for the disgraced poetess: Americans are curious about what she did in China during the war. They organize surveillance on Vida: it is to be carried out by Jun – a teenage orphan who fled from the Sakhalin lost to the Japanese and was unwillingly recruited by American intelligence. Ellie and Jun become increasingly entangled in a deadly web of intrigue and betrayal.
